Unit 4 What's the best movie theater ?（人教版） 人与社会：社区环境与设施 目录 内容 板块一 话题谚语小知识 板块二 话题经典小故事 板块三 话题时文阅读 板块四 话题题型训练 板块五 话题写作佳句积累 话题习语小知识 · “The stage is a magic circle where only the most real things happen, a neutral territory outside the jurisdiction of Fate where stars may be crossed with impunity. A truer and more real place does not exist in all the universe.”   舞台是个有魔力的场所，那里发生的都是最真实的事物，那是命运管不着的一块中立领土，在那里可以穿越星际而毫发无损。整个宇宙中，再也找不出比戏剧舞台更真实、更实在的地方了。                                                   ----P.S. Baber，作家 · “I'm really very sorry for you all, but it's an unjust world, and virtue is triumphant only in theatrical performances.” 实在对不起大家，但是，这个世界是不公正的，只有在戏剧演出中美德才会胜出。                ----W.S. Gilbert（1836-1911），英国剧作家 · “I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a  human  being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” 我认为戏剧是最伟大的艺术形式，是一个人能够与别人分享关于人之为人感受的最直接的方式。                                                 ----爱尔兰文学家王尔德 · “How hard is it, when everything encourages us to sleep, though we may look about us with conscious, clinging eyes, to wake and yet look about us as in a dream, with eyes that no  longer know their function and whose gaze is turned inward.” 做到这一点是多难啊：当一切东西都催促我们入睡的时候，我们却能强睁开几乎要贴上的眼皮，意识清醒地打量四周，能保持醒态，但是，我们打量四周的目光却是梦状的，此时眼睛不再知道自己的功能是注视，其凝视是指向内心深处的。      ----安托南·阿尔托（1896-1948），法国作家、演员  · “[Waiting for Godot] has achieved a theoretical impossibility—a play in which nothing  happens, that yet keeps audiences glued to their seats. What's more, since the second act is a  subtly different reprise of the first, he has written a play in which nothing happens, twice.”（《等待戈多》）完成了一项不可能完成的戏剧成就----这出戏什么情节也没有，可是却能使观众安坐在座位上。更有甚者，由于第二幕其实是重复了第一幕，只有一点点细微的差异，可以说他将一部没有情节的戏剧创作了两回。  · “Happiness was useless to me. It was heartache that filled my purse. What happy man has  need of Shakespeare?” 幸福对于我一无所用。我的手包里装的都是伤心。哪个幸福的人需要莎士比亚啊？ · “I cannot conceive any work of art as having a separate existence from life itself”  我想象不出有任何一件艺术作品能与生活自身相分离而存在。      ----安托南·阿尔托（1896-1948），法国作家、演员 · “Words are sacred. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.” 词语是神圣的，它们值得尊敬。如果你能找到合适的词语，并加以合适的排列，就能推动世界那么一点点。    ----汤姆·斯托帕德，捷克的英国剧作家、演员，导演 · “I am not interested in living in a city where there isn't a production by Samuel Beckett  running.”如果一座城市里没有塞缪尔. 贝克特的作品上演，我就不想在这个城市生活。（注：塞缪尔. 贝克特，话剧《等待戈多》的作者，1969年诺贝尔文学奖得主。）             ----Edward Albee（1928-2016），美国剧作家 · “The theater is the only institution in the world which has been dying for four thousand years and has never succumbed. It requires tough and devoted people to keep it alive.” 戏剧是世界上唯一一种这样的社会设制，它垂危4000年但迄今未断气。让戏剧继续活下去，需要坚韧不拔、忠贞不渝的人。      ----斯坦贝克，美国作家，1962年诺贝尔文学奖得主 · “I wish the stage were as narrow as the wire of a tighrope dancer so that no incompetent would dare step upon it.” 我恨不得戏剧舞台狭小得如同绳索舞所用的细绳一样，这样能力欠缺者就不敢踏上舞台了。                                                        ----德国大文豪歌德 · “If you are looking for something, don't go sit on the seashore and expect it to come and find you; you must search, search, search with all the stubbornness in you!” 如果你寻找什么东西，别跑到海岸上坐等着，奢望它来找你；你必须拿出全部的犟劲去搜寻、搜寻、搜寻！                                   ----斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基，戏剧大师 · “The theater is a communal event, like church. The playwright constructs a mass to be performed for a lot of people. She writes a prayer, which is really just the longings of one heart.”  戏剧是一种社团性事件，好比教会。剧作家构想出的作品好比弥撒，不过是表演给很多人看的。她写出的东西就是祈祷词，其实正是人心的向往渴望。      ----Marsha Norman，美国女剧作家、编剧、小说家 · 话题阅读小故事 ——中国不同的建筑风格 Beijing Courtyard House 北京四合院 The Beijing Courtyard House is one of the

Oxford,England recently received official protection as a historic building. But, Magnus Hanson-Heine, the son of the man who built the artwork, was not happy about the special recognition(认可）. The shark statue is 7.6 meters tall. The strange part is that it lies on the top of the Hanson-Heines' house.It appears from the street as if the huge fish dove(俯冲) straight through the roof. Its head can't be seen from the street, going into the roof. Magnus'late father, Bill,was an American who studied law at the University of Oxford and made the town his home. He created the shark statue in 1986 as a fight against wars. One night in April 1986, Bill heard American planes fly over his house. The next morning,he learned that the planes had been on their way to a war. So he got the idea and worked on the art project with his friend John Buckley. Magnus called the local government's decision"absurd”.His father,he explained, created the shark statue in secret at that time without getting permission(允许) from the local council(委员会) because he strongly believed that the government had no right to decide what art people should see. So the council spent years trying to remove the statue. However, it now announced the shark statue historic and protected. “The anti-war message that the shark statue has given is just as important today,"Magnus said, “as the people somewhere are still at war right now.”While that message is serious, the strange statue that rises over the normal street causes some fun and laughter as well.Especially when someone asks about the unseen head, laughing Magnus often says. “Maybe it crashed through to just above the toilet.That's a secret. 1. What can we know about the shark statue? A. It was built on the roof. B.It really did harm to the house. C.It can be fully seen from the street. D.It has been rebuilt by the local government. 2.Why did Bill and his friend build the shark statue? A. To celebrate victory in the war. B. To remind people of the importance of peace. C. To leave a historic building for the local. D. To bring fun and laughter to local people. 3.When did Bill get the idea of building the shark statue? A.After he met his friend John Buckley. B. After he got the local government's permission. C. When he started to study law at the University of Oxford. D. When he knew American planes were on their way to a war. 4.What does the underlined word“absurd”mean in Chinese? A.重要的 B.荒唐的 C.故意的 D.延迟的 5.What can we know from the last paragraph? A. The shark statue should be knocked down. B. There are many secrets about the shark statue. C. No one knows why the shark statue has no head. D. The shark statue has important influence on society. 长难句解析 原句：（倒数第二段第二句)His father，he explained，created the shark statue in secret at that time without getting permission from the local council because he strongly believed that the government had no right to decide what art people should see. 译文：他解释说，他的父亲当时在未经当地委员会许可的情况下秘密创作了这座鲨鱼雕塑，因为他父亲坚信政府无权决定人们应该欣赏什么艺术。 分析：这是一个复合句。he explained为插入语，because he strongly...should see 为 because 引导的原因状语从句：在这个原因状语从句中，that the government...should see为that引导的宾语从句，作believed的宾语：其中，what art people should see 为what引导的宾语从句，作decide的宾语。 时文阅读 02—地球最北方的岛屿 A team of scientists from Denmark say they accidentally discovered what they believe is the world's northernmost(最北端的） island in late July,2021.   At first, the scientists thought they had arrived at Oodaaq, which until then was believed as the world's northernmost island. In 1978, Oodaaq was discovered by a Danish team that made a science journey to research ocean life.    “There was something wrong with our GPS and it led us to believe that we were standing on Oodaaq Island at first.”said Morten. the leader of the team.“When we realized that we were on an undiscovered island.we posted photos of the island on social media with its position immediately, and a number of American island hunters(搜寻者)went crazy and said that it couldn't be true.”   The yet-to-be-named island is 780 meters north of Oodaaq and was found after the ice above it moved away.It is about 30 by 60 meters in size and rises to about three to four meters above sea level. The research team does not consider the discovery to be a result of climate(气候)change. Morten said the island has a lot of soil(土壤) and rocks. He said it may be the result of a big storm that, with the help of the sea, slowly pushed material from the seabed together until an island formed.    The island is not expected to exist(存在) a longtime.“No one knows how long it will remain, and it could disappear as soon as a great new storm hits.”Morten said. 1.What was the purpose of the Danish team's journey in 1978? A. To do research on Oodaaq. B. To study animals and plants in the sea. C. To search for new islands. D. To find the northernmost point of land. 2.From the passage we can learn that Morten____. A. gave the new island a name B. landed on Oodaaq by accident C.is the leader of the American island hunters D. is one of the men who found the new island 3. How did the American island hunters feel when seeing the photos of the new island? A.Surprised and excited. B. Worried but interested. C. Disappointed and sad. D.Happy but nervous. 4.What can we infer from the passage about the new island? A. It is 780 kilometers north of Oodaaq. B. It appeared because of climate change. C.It was once covered by the sea ice. D.It will move some days later. 5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.The discovery of Oodaaq Island.B. The dangerous result of climate change. C. The introduction of a newly-found island. D. The importance of discovering new islands. 长难句解析 原句：（第二段第一句)At first,the scientists thought they had arrived at Oodaaq, which until then was believed as the world's northernmost island. 译文：译文：一开始，科学家们认为他们到达了Oodaaq岛，在此之前这个岛被认为是世界上最北端的岛。 分析：这是一个复合句。they had arrived at Oodaaq...northernmost island 是省略了引导词that的宾语从句，作thought的宾语；在该宾语从句中，which引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明先行词Oodaaq。 话题题型训练板块 Passage A Last summer I went to a small town in the north.

The city walk is a kind of city tour coming from the UK. It means tourists follow a planned route（路线）working deeply on the city's history and culture. During the traditional kind of travel, people need to follow a group of people. But city walk routes are special for every tourist. People probably choose a route on their own and move on foot without a purpose. They can also talk with locals（当地人）and taste local food on their way. City walkers may be tourists from other places or local young people. For tourists, by taking part in a city walk, they can learn the city's history and culture. For the local young people, they may spend weekends knowing more about their living places. And they even share their routes and places online. So more people get interested in their cities and come to visit them. Now the city walk is very hot. However, we also find that to make money, some travel agencies（旅行社）may make some routes without understanding the culture and history of a city. That will make tourists lose interest in the city walk. What's more, many young people spend much time taking photos to just show themselves online. 31．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．The city walk comes first in China. B．It is up to the tourists to decide the routes. C．Few people in China like the city walk. D．The city walk is less relaxing than the traditional travel. 32．Why do some city walkers share their routes and places on the Internet? A．To learn more about the city. B．To sell more products to tourists. C．To make themselves more famous. D．To help more tourists know about their living places. 33．Which question does this passage answer? A．What can people do during a city walk? B．How much do people pay for a city walk? C．When did people start to have a city walk? D．How many kinds of city tours are there at present? 34．What problems is the city walk having? ①The price is too high. ②Some routes are made without culture and history. ③Some people do it just for fun. ④ The local food tastes too bad. A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．③④ 35．In which part of a newspaper can we read the article? A．Interesting Stories. B．Popular Trips. C．Wonderful Places. D．Scientific discovery. Passage E When you are tired of buildings, you can visit one of London's beautiful parks. Hyde Park first opened to the people of London in the seventeenth century. It is not far from the shops of busy Oxford Street, but it is nice and quiet. In the center is the lake called the Serpentine, and you can take a boat out on the water. There are usually a lot of people at Speakers' Corner. Some people come here because they want to tell the world important or interesting things—about the government, science, or "the end of the world". They stand at the Corner, and call out to all the people around them. Other people stand and listen, and sometimes laugh too. Kensington Gardens is next to Hyde Park. Here you can see a statue（雕像）of Peter Pan, the famous boy in the book Peter Pan written by J. M. Barrie. There is also a playground here, called the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground. And the playground has lots of exciting things for children. Regent's Park is the home of London Zoo. The zoo opened in 1828, and it has animals from all over the world. There is also a theatre in the park. On a summer's evening, you can sit out and watch a play created by Shakespeare. Or you can see the park from the water—take a boat along the canal（运河）from Camden Lock to Little Venice. In the summer, you can listen to music in the park. St James's Park is next to the Mall. It is a small park, but very beautiful, and it is the oldest of the royal（皇家）parks. Lots of birds live on and around the lake in the centre of the park. 36．Where can you listen to an interesting speech? A．In Hyde Park. B．In Regent's Park. C．In St James's Park. D．In Kensington Gardens. 37．What can you do in Regent's Park? A．See a statue of Peter Pan. B．Enjoy plays or music. C．Go shopping on Oxford Street. D．Watch birds on the playground. 38．What do we know about St James's Park? A．It's a very old royal park. B．It's far away from the Mall. C．It was built in the 17th century. D．It has a lake called the Serpentine. Passage F You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. Shanghai firstly introduced a garbage-sorting policy. People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins. Other cities in China also follow to do the same soon. Why is garbage sorting a big problem? It's because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our soil(土壤), air and water. Actually, we can make use of some garbage again. And first, we need to sort our garbage. For example, if you put an old battery(电池) into the harmful garbage bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don't, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment(污染环境). Can't factories sort garbage for us? Yes, they can. But it takes many workers to do this and costs lots of money. If we all sort our own garbage, things will become much easier. Recyclable garbage includes (包括) paper, books, boxes, newspapers, and glass bottles. Harmful garbage includes lamps, batteries and other things with harmful chemicals(有害化学物质). Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen, such as food, vegetables, flowers, leaves ... Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins. It includes pens, toilet paper, tape, hair.. 39．Which of the following is NOT the reason for sorting garbage? A．Some garbage can be reused. B．We can use all garbage again. C．The garbage is bad for the environment. D．There is too much garbage around us. 40．With the battery example, the writer tries to tell us A．what harmful waste is, B．how to sort our garbage C．the difficulty of sorting our garbage D．the importance of sorting our garbage 41．Why can't we ask factories to sort garbage? A．Because we don't have this kind of factory. B．Because it takes too many workers to do it. C．Because factories need to spend little money. D．Because not all garbage can go to factories. 42．We can put medicine into the____. A．wet garbage bin B．dry garbage bin C．recyclable garbage bin D．harmful garbage bin Passage G 假如今天是9月21号星期六。你和你的父母参观了一个以旧居而闻名的小镇。请你根据以下提示写一篇英语日记, 记录你这次的旅游经历。 提示： 1. How is the weather today? 2.

Oxford,England recently received official protection as a historic building. But, Magnus Hanson-Heine, the son of the man who built the artwork, was not happy about the special recognition(认可）. The shark statue is 7.6 meters tall. The strange part is that it lies on the top of the Hanson-Heines' house.It appears from the street as if the huge fish dove(俯冲) straight through the roof. Its head can't be seen from the street, going into the roof. Magnus'late father, Bill,was an American who studied law at the University of Oxford and made the town his home. He created the shark statue in 1986 as a fight against wars. One night in April 1986, Bill heard American planes fly over his house. The next morning,he learned that the planes had been on their way to a war. So he got the idea and worked on the art project with his friend John Buckley. Magnus called the local government's decision"absurd”.His father,he explained, created the shark statue in secret at that time without getting permission(允许) from the local council(委员会) because he strongly believed that the government had no right to decide what art people should see. So the council spent years trying to remove the statue. However, it now announced the shark statue historic and protected. “The anti-war message that the shark statue has given is just as important today,"Magnus said, “as the people somewhere are still at war right now.”While that message is serious, the strange statue that rises over the normal street causes some fun and laughter as well.Especially when someone asks about the unseen head, laughing Magnus often says. “Maybe it crashed through to just above the toilet.That's a secret. 1. What can we know about the shark statue? A. It was built on the roof. B.It really did harm to the house. C.It can be fully seen from the street. D.It has been rebuilt by the local government. 2.Why did Bill and his friend build the shark statue? A. To celebrate victory in the war. B. To remind people of the importance of peace. C. To leave a historic building for the local. D. To bring fun and laughter to local people. 3.When did Bill get the idea of building the shark statue? A.After he met his friend John Buckley. B. After he got the local government's permission. C. When he started to study law at the University of Oxford. D. When he knew American planes were on their way to a war. 4.What does the underlined word“absurd”mean in Chinese? A.重要的 B.荒唐的 C.故意的 D.延迟的 5.What can we know from the last paragraph? A. The shark statue should be knocked down. B. There are many secrets about the shark statue. C. No one knows why the shark statue has no head. D. The shark statue has important influence on society. 长难句解析 原句：（倒数第二段第二句)His father，he explained，created the shark statue in secret at that time without getting permission from the local council because he strongly believed that the government had no right to decide what art people should see. 译文：他解释说，他的父亲当时在未经当地委员会许可的情况下秘密创作了这座鲨鱼雕塑，因为他父亲坚信政府无权决定人们应该欣赏什么艺术。 分析：这是一个复合句。he explained为插入语，because he strongly...should see 为 because 引导的原因状语从句：在这个原因状语从句中，that the government...should see为that引导的宾语从句，作believed的宾语：其中，what art people should see 为what引导的宾语从句，作decide的宾语。 参考答案：  1.A细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The strange part is that it lies on the top of the Hanson-Heines' house.”可知，这座鲨鱼雕塑位于房顶。 2.B推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He created the shark statue in 1986 as a fight against wars.”可知，Bill在1986年建造了这座雕塑，以此来反对战争。再根据最后一段中的“The anti-war message that the shark statue has given"可知，这座雕塑所传递的信息是反对战争。由此可推知，他们建造这座雕塑是想要倡导和平，故B 项“提醒人们和平的重要性”符合题意。 3.D 细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知，一天晚上，Bill听到美国飞机从他家上空飞过，第二天早上，他得知这些飞机是去参加战争的，他便有了这个想法，和朋友一起建造了这座鲨鱼雕塑。由此可知，Bill在知道了美国的飞机是去参加战争时有了建造鲨鱼雕塑的想法。 4.B词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的内容可知，Bill当时建造这座鲨鱼雕塑时没有得到当地委员会的允许，他们一直试图让Bill 拆除雕塑；然而现在他们又认为这座雕塑有历史意义并应受到保护，他们的态度发生了很大的改变。由此可知，此处指Magnus认为当地委员会作出的决定很荒唐。 5.D推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，这座雕塑当时想要传达的反战信息如今也同样重要，因为有些人当前还处于战乱中;而且这座雕塑也给当地人带来了很多欢乐和笑声，故这座鲨鱼雕塑对社会有重要影响。 时文阅读 02—地球最北方的岛屿 A team of scientists from Denmark say they accidentally discovered what they believe is the world's northernmost(最北端的） island in late July,2021.   At first, the scientists thought they had arrived at Oodaaq, which until then was believed as the world's northernmost island. In 1978, Oodaaq was discovered by a Danish team that made a science journey to research ocean life.    “There was something wrong with our GPS and it led us to believe that we were standing on Oodaaq Island at first.”said Morten. the leader of the team.“When we realized that we were on an undiscovered island.we posted photos of the island on social media with its position immediately, and a number of American island hunters(搜寻者)went crazy and said that it couldn't be true.”   The yet-to-be-named island is 780 meters north of Oodaaq and was found after the ice above it moved away.It is about 30 by 60 meters in size and rises to about three to four meters above sea level. The research team does not consider the discovery to be a result of climate(气候)change. Morten said the island has a lot of soil(土壤) and rocks. He said it may be the result of a big storm that, with the help of the sea, slowly pushed material from the seabed together until an island formed.    The island is not expected to exist(存在) a longtime.“No one knows how long it will remain, and it could disappear as soon as a great new storm hits.”Morten said. 1.What was the purpose of the Danish team's journey in 1978? A. To do research on Oodaaq. B. To study animals and plants in the sea. C. To search for new islands. D. To find the northernmost point of land. 2.From the passage we can learn that Morten____. A. gave the new island a name B. landed on Oodaaq by accident C.is the leader of the American island hunters D. is one of the men who found the new island 3. How did the American island hunters feel when seeing the photos of the new island? A.Surprised and excited. B. Worried but interested. C. Disappointed and sad. D.Happy but nervous. 4.What can we infer from the passage about the new island? A. It is 780 kilometers north of Oodaaq. B. It appeared because of climate change. C.It was once covered by the sea ice. D.It will move some days later. 5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.The discovery of Oodaaq Island.B. The dangerous result of climate change. C. The introduction of a newly-found island. D. The importance of discovering new islands. 长难句解析 原句：（第二段第一句)At first,the scientists thought they had arrived at Oodaaq, which until then was believed as the world's northernmost island. 译文：译文：一开始，科学家们认为他们到达了Oodaaq岛，在此之前这个岛被认为是世界上最北端的岛。 分析：这是一个复合句。they had arrived at Oodaaq...northernmost island 是省略了引导词that的宾语从句，作thought的宾语；在该宾语从句中，which引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明先行词Oodaaq。 参考答案： 丹麦的科学家意外地发现了地球最北端的小岛。不过，科学家认为这个岛可能不会存在很长时间。 1.B细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“In 1978, Oodaaq was discovered by a Danish team that made a science journey to research ocean life.”可知，1978年一个丹麦科考队进行了一次科学考察，目的是研究海洋生物，故B项正确。 2. D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A team of scientists...discovered what they believe is the world's northernmost island”和第三段中的“Morten, the leader of the team”可知，Morten是发现这个小岛的科学家团队成员之一。 3.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“we posted photos of the island on social media with its position immediately, and a number of American island hunters went crazy and said that it couldn't be true”可知，当Morten的团队在社交媒体上发布这个小岛的照片及其位置时，许多美国岛屿搜寻者异常兴奋，说这不可能是真的。因此，他们看到这个新发现的小岛的照片时感到非常惊讶和兴奋。 4.C 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句中的“was found after the ice above it moved away可知，这个小岛被发现是因为覆盖在它上面的冰移走了，故可推知这个小岛以前是被冰覆盖着的。 5.C主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了科学家们最新发现了一个小岛的事情，并介绍了这个小岛的位置、大小、形成原因等信息，故C项是本文的主旨。 话题题型训练板块 Passage A Last summer I went to a small town in the north.

The city walk is a kind of city tour coming from the UK. It means tourists follow a planned route（路线）working deeply on the city's history and culture. During the traditional kind of travel, people need to follow a group of people. But city walk routes are special for every tourist. People probably choose a route on their own and move on foot without a purpose. They can also talk with locals（当地人）and taste local food on their way. City walkers may be tourists from other places or local young people. For tourists, by taking part in a city walk, they can learn the city's history and culture. For the local young people, they may spend weekends knowing more about their living places. And they even share their routes and places online. So more people get interested in their cities and come to visit them. Now the city walk is very hot. However, we also find that to make money, some travel agencies（旅行社）may make some routes without understanding the culture and history of a city. That will make tourists lose interest in the city walk. What's more, many young people spend much time taking photos to just show themselves online. 31．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．The city walk comes first in China. B．It is up to the tourists to decide the routes. C．Few people in China like the city walk. D．The city walk is less relaxing than the traditional travel. 32．Why do some city walkers share their routes and places on the Internet? A．To learn more about the city. B．To sell more products to tourists. C．To make themselves more famous. D．To help more tourists know about their living places. 33．Which question does this passage answer? A．What can people do during a city walk? B．How much do people pay for a city walk? C．When did people start to have a city walk? D．How many kinds of city tours are there at present? 34．What problems is the city walk having? ①The price is too high. ②Some routes are made without culture and history. ③Some people do it just for fun. ④ The local food tastes too bad. A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．③④ 35．In which part of a newspaper can we read the article? A．Interesting Stories. B．Popular Trips. C．Wonderful Places. D．Scientific discovery. 参考答案：31．B 32．D 33．A 34．C 35．B 【解析】【分析】本文讲述的是越来越多的人喜欢城市漫步。 31．细节理解题。根据But city walk routes are special for every tourist. People probably choose a route on their own and move on foot without a purpose. They can also talk with locals(当地人) and taste local food on their way. (但是城市步行路线对每个游客来说都很特别。人们可能会自己选择一条路线， 毫无目的地步行前进。他们还可以在旅途中与当地人交谈并品尝当地食物。)可知，城市步行由游客决定路线， 故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据For tourists, by taking part in a city walk, they can learn the city's history and culture. For the local young people, they may spend weekends knowing more about their living places. And they even share their routes and places online. So more people get interested in their cities and come to visit them.

(然而， 我们也发现为了赚钱， 一些旅行社可能会在不了解一个城市的文化和历史的情况下制定一些路线。这将使游客对城市漫步失去兴趣。此外， 许多年轻人花很多时间拍照只是为了在网上展示自己。)可知， 城市漫步中存在的问题制定的路线没有城市的文化和历史， 年轻人做这些只为了娱乐， ②③符合题意，故选C。 35．文章出处题。本文讲述的是越来越多的人喜欢城市漫步， 我们可以在受欢迎的旅行中看到这个内容，故选B。 Passage E When you are tired of buildings, you can visit one of London's beautiful parks. Hyde Park first opened to the people of London in the seventeenth century. It is not far from the shops of busy Oxford Street, but it is nice and quiet. In the center is the lake called the Serpentine, and you can take a boat out on the water. There are usually a lot of people at Speakers' Corner. Some people come here because they want to tell the world important or interesting things—about the government, science, or "the end of the world". They stand at the Corner, and call out to all the people around them. Other people stand and listen, and sometimes laugh too. Kensington Gardens is next to Hyde Park. Here you can see a statue（雕像）of Peter Pan, the famous boy in the book Peter Pan written by J. M. Barrie. There is also a playground here, called the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground. And the playground has lots of exciting things for children. Regent's Park is the home of London Zoo. The zoo opened in 1828, and it has animals from all over the world. There is also a theatre in the park. On a summer's evening, you can sit out and watch a play created by Shakespeare. Or you can see the park from the water—take a boat along the canal（运河）from Camden Lock to Little Venice. In the summer, you can listen to music in the park. St James's Park is next to the Mall. It is a small park, but very beautiful, and it is the oldest of the royal（皇家）parks.

Shanghai firstly introduced a garbage-sorting policy. People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins. Other cities in China also follow to do the same soon. Why is garbage sorting a big problem? It's because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our soil(土壤), air and water. Actually, we can make use of some garbage again. And first, we need to sort our garbage. For example, if you put an old battery(电池) into the harmful garbage bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don't, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment(污染环境). Can't factories sort garbage for us? Yes, they can. But it takes many workers to do this and costs lots of money. If we all sort our own garbage, things will become much easier. Recyclable garbage includes (包括) paper, books, boxes, newspapers, and glass bottles. Harmful garbage includes lamps, batteries and other things with harmful chemicals(有害化学物质). Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen, such as food, vegetables, flowers, leaves ... Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins.

A．wet garbage bin B．dry garbage bin C．recyclable garbage bin D．harmful garbage bin 参考答案： 39．B 40．D 41．B 42．D 【解析】【分析】大意：文章论述了垃圾分类的重要性并介绍了垃圾的种类。 39．细节理解题。根据第二段Why is garbage sorting a big problem?
